Over the years, many people and friends have suggested that I search for my biological family, but I always hesitated, not wanting to upset my parents. However, that reason began to lose its weight after my Dad had been gone for 20 years and my Mom for almost 10. So why was I holding back?
I believe it was equal parts of a fear of uncertainty, possible rejection, guilt and what others might think that held me back.
All of this was becoming incongruent with who I was becoming as a person — and, being curious by nature, I wanted to know “my story”. So, when a friend informed me last summer that Quebec had opened its birth records and also suggested I have my DNA tested, it was game on 😊
